Involving musical instruments

In the long history of Konghou that has been circulating for nearly two thousand years, it has always followed the structure and appearance when it was introduced, but this phenomenon was finally changed in the 1970s. The musical instrument maker Han Qihua first successfully created the double-stringed Konghou in the field of Konghou, which not only made the structure and playing technique of the Konghou develop by leaps and bounds, but also made the appearance of the Konghou completely new. It has been used in music practice, and for the first time, Konghou is used in film music.
